America's Favorite Red Head

This month's challenge at Stampsmith was a photo inspiration challenge. My focus, of course, went to the stylish red shoe. I knew immediately what I wanted to do on my card. I would use one of my new Lucy stamps for the challenge. After all she is America's favorite red head. I chose the one of her on the telephone. My background became a page from the telephone book. The sentiment (Club Scrap) seemed so Lucy...talk, talk, talk. (I'm not sure why photo stamps scan like a checkerboard for me. In real life, the image looks like a photo.)
I am also entering this card into the Simon Says Stamp challenge which is anything goes.

About Me

I am Barbara Washington. I live in Chicago with my two daughters, my grandson and granddaughter, and four cats. For many years I worked as a librarian in the local college system. Now I am retired and I have discovered that I enjoy creating art. I started rubber stamping over fifteen years ago as something to play with, but it has grown into a passion. I love making cards and atc's, but I also love trying new techniques and using new media. Over the years I have made the acquaintance of many on-line friends. I have benefited so much from the sharing of art and ideas through swaps, challenges and dialog.
